Pinch hitter Josh Pearson would record his first home run of the year when he blasted a two-run dinger to break a 5-5 tie in the 12th inning to push the Tigers to an 8-5 victory.
LSU improved to 41-12 overall and 18-9 in the SEC, while Georgia dropped to 28-25 overall and 10-18 in conference play. The Tigers hit six home runs in Thursday night’s game, their most since collecting six dingers on March 14, 2021, versus UT San Antonio in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
With the game tied at 5-5 at the top of the 12th inning, designated hitter Hyaden Travinski got on base as the game-winning baserunner when he lined a leadoff double.
